Salut Chris, with regard to the Mas 36. My model was manufactured in either late 1944 or early 1945. The US forces liberated St Étienne in August 1944 and production restarted almost immediately. MAS is the model name denoting that it was manufactured at the arms plant in St Étienne. It is the same naming convention today with the French FAMAS assault rifle referring to it being a fusil (rifle) automatique manufactured at St Étienne. The MAS 36 was the last bolt action battle rifle (carbine) introduced by a major power. The main purpose for the design was to equip conscript troops rather than professional soldiers who were meant to have the MAS semi auto. The design is very clever and the action mimics some aspects in the bolt of both the British Lee Enfield and the German K98. Two aspects of the design show the type of user the model was designed for. All the screw adjustments to any important element of the carbine have screw heads requiring a gunsmith’s tool not a screw driver. The rear aperture sign is adjustable for elevation only. At he time of manufacture the armurier would test fire each particular firearm at a target contains 50 individual boxes. Each box had a corresponding rear aperture unit designed specifically to be that point of impact. The MAS 36 is still in use in parts of the various Middle East conflicts. Mine cost me 1000 Euros a couple of years ago en France where I am resident. It is an excellent shooter with very low recoil. Cordialement RB
Users interested in a MAS-36 need to note the sites are peep and single post and not as accurate as most other WW2 bolt rifles. Another thing users should be aware of is there is no safety on this rifle. French Military Philosophy at the time was the rifle was to be carried unloaded until you went into combat. That being said I enjoy my MAS-36 and take it to the range a couple times a year along with my MAS-49/56 as both fire the same round 7.5x54 aka 7.5 French. The 49/56 is by far more accurate as it's sites are similar to an M1A or AR15.
Maybe you caught the Casual Covid. My wife and I caught it last week. To me, it felt like a bad head cold, but my wife lost all appetite and became quite weak. Glad you're back among the living!
Salut, Many of the MAS 36 surplus models were refurbed at St Étienne (as mine was) and re chambered in 7mm-08, which is not a “war round”. For many years en France the public could not posses war round firearms such as 9mm, .45 etc. That is no longer the case. However the MAS being a bolt action rifle is not a restricted Cat B firearm (max of 12 allowed). It is Cat C as are shotguns and lever actions. All semi auto carbines, pistols and revolvers are Cat B. My CZ model 527 bolt action is unfortunately an exception. It is a restricted Cat B as it is chambered in 5.56 NATO / .223 which very much are still considered a “war round”.
always enjoy your videos Chris you do a great job on them and the variety of them weekly review what came in and industry updates makes it like three different channels in one.
I love that Colt .380! My first gun ever (1990-just out of the Army) was a stainless steel Series 80 Colt Combat Commander .45 ACP. I love that gun. I used to take it to the range all the time. I still have it in the blue case, but the cardboard box disappeared long ago. I then bought a Ruger P85 9mm that I never liked, and an AK (ban-era with the stock/grip cutout, and 10 round single-stack magazines). Around 10 years ago, I bought a Colt M4 Carbine, and the question I have for you is, would I be wrong to upgrade the rifle with a new hand guard, optic, charging handle, etc.? I kinda wanted to modernize my AR, but I don’t want to hurt the value of the rifle. Should I just invest in a Saint, or an AR556 and trick that out instead? I’ve been told already that I own too many guns! (40)
There is no such thing as too many guns. If you want a fairly cheap AR that you can trick out, look at Diamondback. I bought one for cheap for a project & it ended up being a short project because it was wayyy better than I thought a cheap AR could be. All I did was add optics, sling & change the stock/charging handle.
Got a MAS 36 with no serial number, only a lot number Barrel is dated 1940 Likely a French Resistance or Vichy French weapon No import marks so someone brought it home from the war Never did get the full story from the previous owner (gun shop couldn't divulge private info of the previous owner) and likely never will now. :(
It is possible to lose money on any investment but if you know what you are doing you will almost never lose money on them really the only guns that will go down in value are new guns when they come out with the newest model but that's not to say that in the future the first model may be worth the most price jumps up and down every day but something that is collectable today usually always will be
Colt mark IV .380 yes! I was wondering if I was a fool buying that 5 years ago for a steal, looks like a good investment like my DOUBLE EAGLE, a DA 1911
How many rds on that Beretta? .380? there's a nice .380 double stack that 🇮🇱 uses I believe its a 21 rd. .380 auto for police I believe made by Taurus.
HBAR's are only good for accurate long ranges, or as heat sinks for auto fire. Gov't profiles and pencils do the same thing without making the rifle nose heavy.
The right to self defense. When bullets fly through the air, they do so at amazing speeds. The fastest bullets travel more than 2,600 feet per second. Explain how an unarmed person, confronted by a bad guy with a weapon or , baseball batt, knife, etc. A outruns a bullet. B has time to get the phone out. C has the calm or wherewithal to call law enforcement. The bullet travels over 1,800 miles per hour. To put that in perspective, it's amazing to realize that bullets travel over twice the speed of sound Explain how law enforcement is supposed to travel faster than a bullet traveling 1,800 mph to save a life. Even if they get a call. Sadly Innocent people everywhere are defenseless, when confronted by the bad guy . There is no superman or super hero like on TV faster than a speeding bullet to save the day. Why don't politicians who believe in firearm control give up their weapons and have body gaurds without weapons. This is why I believe in the second amendment and self defense. You are your own first responder. Call or write your local politicians and the ones in Washington to let them know how you will vote if they don't represent your rights.

I blame the MAS prices on Ian McCollum. He's had an effect on the market for sure. Some other makes and models as well too.
I wish I lived closer to your store. You have such an interesting niche inventory now that’s so much more interesting than the average gun store.
I'd be in financial troubles if I lived near his store lol.

Thanks for the additional information.
Colt AR-15s HBARs have always been desirable for people who shoot Service Rifle in Highpower competitions.

I love these. It’s a great way to start Sunday.
Thank you, Chris, for another interesting and informative video. Glad you are feeling better.

I came here for the guns, I left here full of history! Thanks
Love these videos I learn a bunch about guns that I have seen before but never took the time to really look at.
I have a Match Hbar transitional model with a slab side lower.
Thank you, Mark.
Enjoyed it, and glad you're on the mend!
Always enjoy watching your videos.👍👍
I’ve got a mummified MAS36 on the way. It’s wrapped in the preservative and paper so just off the refurbishing line.

Watch Honest Outlaw before you consider a Saint. Or any other SPFLD offerings.
There is no such thing as too many guns.

Great series of firearms. I continue to enjoy this format as much for the history as for the firearms.
Very good video Chris get well buddy enjoyed thanks for all you do
Love these videos!!! Feel better!!
I need a colt a2
Got a MAS 36 with no serial number, only a lot number
Barrel is dated 1940
Likely a French Resistance or Vichy French weapon
No import marks so someone brought it home from the war
Never did get the full story from the previous owner (gun shop couldn't divulge private info of the previous owner) and likely never will now. :(
We are in St. Louis Missouri so your not that far away . Hope you’re doing better.
That Cheetah is nice.
I thought so too. Would be a very interesting piece to have.
Do you ever lose money on guns you buy/ sell?
It is possible to lose money on any investment but if you know what you are doing you will almost never lose money on them really the only guns that will go down in value are new guns when they come out with the newest model but that's not to say that in the future the first model may be worth the most price jumps up and down every day but something that is collectable today usually always will be
That's a good question actually. I would guess he probably does on rare occasion, but I'd be interested in hearing what he has to say.
Nice colts
You mentioned some colts are rarer than others.. what do you think of the r6550 model?
good job
I do like the information
Picked up my used blue Cheetah 84 for about $500 on GB
1:12 twist? We’re they bad to keyhole?
In the AR's? No, they mostly came like that pre-A2
Yankee Marshal will buy that Cheetah from you for an actual cheetah. Except he's a little disorganized so it'll turn out to be a possum.
Colt mark IV .380 yes! I was wondering if I was a fool buying that 5 years ago for a steal, looks like a good investment like my DOUBLE EAGLE, a DA 1911
Neat. Who makes the double action 1911?
@@joshuagibson2520 Colt Double Eagle, only made for a few years in the 90s, not a great mechanism , horrible double trigger but nice collector item

There are plenty available out there.
The HBAR is the best all around rifle. Period. If it's too heavy, a person should consider lifting some weights or something.
HBAR's are only good for accurate long ranges, or as heat sinks for auto fire. Gov't profiles and pencils do the same thing without making the rifle nose heavy.
Loved the Uzi....can you do a video on the CM-9 Sometime?? 😀
The 16"barrel on the UZI is butt ugly, I would go ahead and SBR' that one.
I watch your videos and wonder why did the person sell the gun?

I agree with your sentiments. Lots of cartridges capable of well over 3,000 FPS these days though!
Regardless of distance, there's never been a bullet that travels for an hour. Most travel for a few seconds at most. Might want to check your sources.
@@majorlaff8682 Whats that supposed to mean? Duh there hasn't been a bullet that flew for an hour, thats just a measurement of speed
